It largely cultural. In Korea it is completely normal to refer to other staff by their title. In North America from a North American it would be odd.

If, when you look back on your working life on the day of your retirement, you find that this is the weirdest thing that ever happened to you at work - if that happens - you should consider yourself a lucky lucky person.

Oh, it's weird alright. At least to me.
Having said that, you ignore the wishes of your boss at your own peril. I'm not kidding when I say that there could be negative ramifications because of his annoyance with you. You could get worse assignments or just a cold shoulder.
Of course, if he does hold it against you, would you even want to work there?
On the other hand, maybe he just has a weird sense of humor that is very, very, very dry, i.e. he thinks something funny that isn't.

It doesn't seem weird to me, I guess it's a location thing. But even when I was in New Zealand it was normal enough to call the boss 'Boss' rather than by his first name, it was a sign of respect.
It would seem weird to me to call him 'C.E.O' or 'Managing Director'
I can't do it
It's a petty thing to complain about and refuse to do.

Here while it could be normal maybe 40-50 years ago, nowadays it is odd to do that, and petty to ask for that.
